I tried to create make backup my postrgresql cluster with amanda.
And I had to create database superuser.
I tried to create no-superuser role with only "replication" privillege,
but after run backup I got:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
2013-05-06 13:33:02 CEST ERROR: must be superuser to switch transaction log files
2013-05-06 13:33:02 CEST STATEMENT: SELECT file_name from pg_xlogfile_name_offset(pg_switch_xlog())
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So my question is:
Can I establish postgresql role which is _not_ superuser and can execute
above statement?
KJ
PS. does news.postgresql.org work? I got 'unknown host'
